The Verge: Claude subscriptions will no longer cover third-party access from tools like OpenClaw starting Saturday, April 4th. - Lemmy.World

> Using OpenClaw with Claude AI is about to get a lot more expensive, thanks to Anthropic’s new policy changes. Beginning April 4th at 3PM ET, users will “no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw,” according to an email sent to users on Friday evening. Instead, if users want to use OpenClaw with Claude, they’ll have to use a “pay-as-you-go option” that will be billed separate from their Claude subscription. > > With OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger now employed by OpenAI, Anthropic may also be encouraging subscribers to use more of its own tools, like Claude Cowork, instead. Steinberger says that he and OpenClaw board member Dave Morin “tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week.” > > According to Anthropic Claude Code exec Boris Cherny: > > > Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. > > > > You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key. > > > > We’ve been working hard to meet the increase in demand for Claude, and our subscriptions weren’t built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools. Capacity is a resource we manage thoughtfully and we are prioritizing our customers using our products and API. > > > > Subscribers get a one-time credit equal to your monthly plan cost. If you need more, you can now buy discounted usage bundles. To request a full refund, look for a link in your email tomorrow. > > > > We want to be intentional in managing our growth to continue to serve our customers sustainably long-term. This change is a step toward that. > > > > Source: https://xcancel.com/bcherny/status/2040206440556826908 [https://xcancel.com/bcherny/status/2040206440556826908]

Power outages - sh.itjust.works

Just a hunch, but are you seeing more and more power outages (in the US)? Ive been seeing a lot more than usual (in temperate weather too, not storms) and I really wonder how much of it is due to data centers. I’d love to put all the blame on them of course but I could be wrong too.

I love the rant about ‘AI’ creating music.

Thought of this today - sh.itjust.works

OK, it would still be immensely stupid, a waste of resources and land, and probably not even work properly at all - but for a moment, imagine if devs/companies used ai to optimize their games/software/websites. That seems like something it should be used for, if we were in a Star Trek universe. Anyway back to reality, here’s your ad for SlopCoke!

I used AI. It worked. I hated it. - Lemmy.World

I find deep joy in the struggle of creation. I want to keep doing it, even if it’s slower. Even if it’s worse. I want to keep writing code. But I suspect not everyone feels that way about it. Are they wrong? Or can different people find different value in the same task? And what does society owe to those who enjoy an older way of doing things? > > If I could disinvent this technology, I would. My experiences, while enlightening as to models’ capabilities, have not altered my belief that they cause more harm than good. And yet, I have no plan on how to destroy generative AI. I don’t think this is a technology we can put back in the box. It may not take the same form a year from now; it may not be as ubiquitous or as celebrated, but it will remain. > > And in the realm of software development, its presence fundamentally changes the nature of the trade. We must learn how to exist in a world where some will choose to use these tools, whether responsibly or not. Is it possible to distinguish one from the other? Is it possible to renounce all code not written by human hands? > > https://taggart-tech.com/reckoning [https://web.archive.org/web/20260402210313/https://taggart-tech.com/reckoning/] [web-archive]
